ADELINA'S POV

Since the funeral, the CCTV hasn't caught sight of the car that is always watching from the dark. It gave a faint sense of security.

For the past few days, I have been trying to gather as much information as I could about the family business. This could not be the end of the Marino family.

There were records of the Marino business partners both underground and our cover business. On the surface, unbeknownst to the public, my family ran a fashion house; we focused on Italian leather and tailor suits.

It wasn't a major success, but it was a perfect cover-up for our actual source of income. To spend the dirt money there has to be a hoax company.

It was shocking it got revealed that we were tied to the mob, a part of me knows Viktor had a hand in it. Thinking of that jerk I haven't seen him recently. My family's reputation was in shambles after the leak of information. Although the store was trying its best to keep everything together by denying it,

    ADELINA'S POVMy lips pursed into a thin line. “There was no Uber available. I didn’t really have much of a choice,” I muttered.Mikhail gave me a glance before turning his focus back to the road.A tired sigh slipped from his lips, and he muttered something inaudible. My eyes drifted to him, thoughts wandering as I watched him drive, so calm and collected behind the wheel.Mikhail sensed my gaze. He flicked a glance my way, but his expression remained unreadable.“I don’t mind being the only thing you stare at, but if you have something to say, just spill,” he said, voice gentle, tone teasing. My face flushed slightly.I swallowed and turned back to the window, watching raindrops race down the glass, blurring out the street.Whenever I was with Mikhail, I always felt a little uneasy. It was hard to predict which version of him I’d get. It was either the cold, domineering psycho or the unnervingly calm and composed man.I wasn’t sure which side of him thrilled me more. The unpredictab

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   183 - was it a dirty affair?

    ADELINA'S POV It felt like he manipulated me into accepting his sinful touch, not that I regretted a moment of it. If given the chance, I might do it all over again. Mikhail broke the hug then adjusted his clothes. There was no sign of what we just did, just a few creases. I had questions, I wanted to ask him what our relationship was now. Did he have feelings for me or just enjoy the thrill of fucking me? He pulled out his phone to text someone, my eyes nervously glanced around the office then on the desk that had some evidence of our moment. This wasn't right. I covered my face with my palms, feeling embarrassed that I had just been fucked, from behind against my boss's table. "Is something wrong?" He asked, noticing my reaction. I shook my head without giving him a verbal reaction. I tried to get off the desk, but my legs crumbled immediately Mikhail caught me before I fell, supporting my weight with his arms wrapped around my waist. "I told you to rest a b

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   185 - Feels just right

    ADELINA'S POV He entered me with a single power thrust that ripped me apart from behind like he’d been waiting for this far too long to be gentle.. He was freaking large for crying out loud and my cunt could never get used to it. "You are ripping me apart Mikhail." I cried out my voice mixed with moans. I wanted him deeper anyway, no matter how much it hurt. "I am not even fully in. Oh, Mishka, you are squeezing the daylights out of me." He groaned, pain apparent in his tone. His hold on my hair was released. Mikhail cursed out in frustration. "Even if it's painful I know you love the pain. You were freaking born for me, every inch of your body was made for me." he declared. The breath tore out of my lungs. My back arched. My nails scraped the desk. He wasn't fully in because there was no way I could fit in that monstrosity completely. Mikhail didn't wait for me to accommodate his size completely and started thrusting into my pussy from behind.The desk creak

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   184 - forbidden desire

    *** This scene might be triggering for some*** ADELINA'S POV I should stop listening to the little she-devil that whispers in my ears. His lips scorched mine, and despite everything in me screaming to stop, I didn’t want to pull away It started as a kiss to tell him, he didn't have control over me. He wasn't the only one capable of destroying boundaries. A kiss based on defiance turned into something I never expected. I only had control because he let me until he took it back. His lips were a painful reminder that I had no power against him. He was the one letting me do as I pleased. Possessive and dominating. This intensity should have made me scared. His obsession should have turned on every alarm in my head but it fucking didn't. My core clenched and cried more, begging for something forbidden. I craved more, I needed more than just the sparks from his lips. More than just his tongue teasing my tongue like he was fucking my mouth. I needed to be touched I wanted him

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   183 - Wreck you

    MIKHAIL'S POV Watching how she reacted to my words stirred something in me. She acted bravely most times but she was truly gullible and pure I wondered how her parents were able to preserve this part of her. She grew up surrounded by danger but they shielded it from her. A part of me is drawn to this part with the strong urge to ruin it and make her see reality for the way it is while the other has an urge to nourish and protect that gaze. Unfortunately, life is cruel, she will have to see things the way I want her to. I am going to stain that pure soul of hers. After all, I gave her the chance to escape, but she came back to my life only for me to wreck her completely. She should have run away from this madness but she didn't. “You said you weren't interested in a fickle revenge against your brother” she whispered. “The morning, afterwards. You told me to leave, Mikhail!” That was what I felt then that night after I saved her from Viktor's hands. The bloody bride who

  • Trapped With The Ruthless Alpha: The Heiress Vendetta   182 - Angry Mishka

    MIKHAIL'S POV "The appropriate authorities will handle this effectively. I am surprised such a large money laundering operation was happening right under our noses." The head of finance said with a serious expression. I had a soft smile on my face listening to his hypocrisy. I wasn't surprised about the money laundering, I knew about it for a while now but didn't take any action because the time wasn't right. I needed to plan the best trap to lure them out but the plan changed. The head of the finance department was in cohorts with the group of ' smart people ' who thought they could steal such large amounts without being noticed. One of the reasons I didn't act earlier was that there wasn't enough evidence to incriminate every accomplice, including the hypocrite in front of me, acting surprised about the entire thing. He probably thought that because he avoided charges, he was safe. He has no idea of how deep he has fallen into a trap he can't escape from. "W
